MILWAUKEE — Democrats made their case against Republicans who will take the stage for tonight's debate but were less open about their own candidate.
The Democratic National Committee held an afternoon press conference at a Milwaukee hotel to talk about abortion rights, climate change, and the economy. During a Q&A afterward, they were asked if President Joe Biden plans to make his case directly."Will President Biden commit to debating in the general [election]?" a reporter asked."We have not had a conversation about that," he said.
Biden's 2020 opponent, Donald Trump, made headlines by skipping the Milwaukee debate, though not everyone in the GOP agrees with the choice. "You are giving Joe Biden a card to say, 'I'm going to use the Trump debate standard and not show up because I'm so ahead in my internal polls. I'm just not coming,'" she said."So you're giving a card to your opponent that he could pull if he tried."
